## Three solid options for commercial spaces

For Austin retail, restaurant, showroom, and shop floors, three systems lead: polished concrete, metallic epoxy, and standard

 with a polyaspartic topcoat.

Each has a clear best-use case. Polished concrete suits modern minimalist showrooms and high-end retail where a refined slab look matters and there’s no coating to chip. Metallic epoxy suits feature spaces, restaurants, and salons where visual impact matters. Standard flake epoxy or solid-color commercial systems suit working spaces — automotive, warehouse, industrial retail — where durability and easy cleanup come first.

## Match finish to traffic

Heavy foot traffic showrooms benefit from polished concrete or polyaspartic-topped epoxy — both wear extremely well.

Spaces with rolling carts, forklifts, or vehicles need a polyaspartic or industrial epoxy system — softer polished surfaces will wear under wheel loads.

Restaurant kitchens and salons need slip-resistant systems — anti-slip aggregate or quartz broadcast in the topcoat.

We quote across these options when you’re not sure. The right pick depends on traffic, aesthetic, downtime tolerance, and budget — easy conversation once we see the space.
